Uptake likelihood assessment of oral cholera vaccine capsules: Insights from stakeholder consultations in five countries
The stakeholders highlighted that vaccine capsules are desirable for use in the general population as they have the potential to have many advantages over the current practice. However, for children who are not able to swallow the capsule, the currently available liquid oral cholera vaccine may be more desirable. To make an eventual informed decision about whether to recommend use of the vaccine capsule, national stakeholders requested the genera…
Performing Black ademics: An Artful Inquiry of Black Scholarly Reimaginings in Qualitative Research Through Quilting Performance
This article unpacks ongoing artful inquiry into our experiences as Black academics who center Sankofa sensibilities in our research and writing. Specifically, we conceptualize quilting performance as artful inquiry. Drawing on artful inquiry as a mode of thinking that informs multiple qualitative approaches, we co-construct an ongoing quilt that we co-perform as we navigate higher education. Thus, this article discusses quilting performance as a…
The Political Economy of Health: Bringing Political Science In
The public's health is intimately linked to politics and policy. But political science has yet to make a major contribution to understanding the political economy of health (as distinct from medical care). In order to advance understanding of the drivers of health in an era of emerging infectious disease and global pandemics, more political scientists must begin to do what we are uniquely well situated to do: analyze in a contextualized way the p…
Falling down the rabbit hole? Methodological, conceptual and policy issues in current health inequalities research
Persistent health inequalities pose a challenge to researchers and policymakers. Decades of research have illuminated mechanisms that underlie health inequalities, now we must move beyond these observations to enable policies that can reduce them. In this paper, we highlight tensions in the field of health inequalities research regarding the relationship between social determinants and health outcomes, and the effectiveness of welfare policies. W…

Classroom Movement Breaks Reduce Sedentary Behavior and Increase Concentration, Alertness and Enjoyment during University Classes: A Mixed-Methods Feasibility Study
This mixed-methods study aimed to determine the feasibility of incorporating movement breaks into university classes in terms of acceptability (disruption, engagement, satisfaction), practicality (ease of scheduling and conducting breaks) and efficacy (sedentary time, concentration, alertness, enjoyment). Movement breaks of five to 10 min duration were scheduled after 20 min of sedentary time during 2-h classes. Classes without movement breaks we…

Regimes of Inequality: The Political Economy of Health and Wealth
Since the 1990s, mainstream political parties have failed to address the problem of growing inequality, resulting in political backlash and the transformation of European party systems. Most attempts to explain the rise of inequality in political science take a far too narrow approach, considering only economic inequality and failing to recognize how multiple manifestations of inequality combine to reinforce each other and the underlying politica…
Populism, Partisan Convergence, and Mobilization in Western Europe
What is the link between changing economic and social circumstances and the rise of populism in Western Europe? And what does the rise of populism tell us about the political economy of mobilization at a time when party systems are changing before our eyes? A political economy approach to populism must be attentive to the long-term changes in politics and society that help to explain: what kinds of people are mobilized by what kinds of parties; t…
Post-Crisis Political Change in Western Europe
[T]he financial crisis can be best understood as the final catastrophic stage of a process of dismantling the protective institutions that made Western European capitalism politically sustainable
Class, territory, and inequality: Explaining differences in the framing of health inequalities as a policy problem in Belgium and France
Winner-Take-All Politics in Europe? European Inequality in Comparative Perspective
In this introduction to the special issue “The New Politics of Inequality in Europe,” recent literature on income inequality in the advanced democracies is summarized. It is argued that dominant accounts are too heavily focused on the United States, whereas the experience of Western European countries has been neglected. Although income inequality has risen nearly everywhere in the rich industrial democracies since the end of the 1970s, it has do…
The Influence of Private Health Care Financing on Citizen Trust in Government
Using individual-level data from the 2008 European Social Survey and country-level health care financing data we analyze the influence of private financing of health care on political trust in twenty-five European countries. Net of known predictors of trust at the individual and country level, we find that trust in government is significantly lower where the health system is financed to a greater degree by private sources. This negative relations…
The Italian welfare state after the financial crisis
The essential characteristics of the Italian welfare state as it developed after the Second World War generated social cleavages and inequities that affected the Italian economy and provided grist for future reforms. At the same time, the welfare state provided political actors with incentives and resources that constrained attempts at reform. With the financial crisis beginning in 2008, serious reform was no longer optional. But austerity politi…
Fragile health and fragile wealth: Mortgage strain among African American homeowners
A Case–Control Study of Home Foreclosure, Health Conditions, and Health Care Utilization
Housing Affordability and Health Among Homeowners and Renters
Religion, Class Coalitions, and Welfare States
This book radically revises established knowledge in comparative welfare state studies and introduces a new perspective on how religion shaped modern social protection systems. The interplay of societal cleavage structures and electoral rules produced the different political class coalitions sustaining the three welfare regimes of the Western world. In countries with proportional electoral systems the absence or presence of state–church conflicts…
Health Status of People Undergoing Foreclosure in the Philadelphia Region
Objectives. We assessed the health status of people undergoing mortgage foreclosure in the Philadelphia region to determine if there was a relationship between foreclosure and health. Methods. Participants were recruited in partnership with a mortgage counseling agency. Participants' health status and health care use were compared with a community sample from the 2008 Southeastern Pennsylvania Household Health Survey. We used publicly filed forec…
Always the Third Rail: Pension Income and Policy Preferences in European Democracies
Social transfer programs are thought to generate beneficiary groups who will act politically to defend “their” programs from retrenchment. But little empirical research has been conducted to either verify or disconfirm the micro foundations of this hypothesis, which lies at the heart of the “new social risks” thesis as well as many economic analyses of welfare state politics. This article tests empirically whether benefiting from public pensions …
Context and Causal Mechanisms in Political Analysis
Political scientists largely agree that causal mechanisms are crucial to understanding causation. Recent advances in qualitative and quantitative methodology suggest that causal explanations must be contextually bounded. Yet the relationship between context and mechanisms and this relationship's importance for causation are not well understood. This study defines causal mechanisms as portable concepts that explain how and why a hypothesized cause…

Age in the Welfare State: The Origins of Social Spending on Pensioners, Workers, and Children
This book asks why some countries devote the lion's share of their social policy resources to the elderly, while others have a more balanced repertoire of social spending. Far from being the outcome of demands for welfare spending by powerful age-based groups in society, the 'age' of welfare is an unintended consequence of the way that social programs are set up. The way that politicians use welfare state spending to compete for votes, along eith…
Age in the Welfare State: The Origins of Social Spending on Pensioners, Workers, and Children (Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics)
The Age-Orientation of Social Policy Regimes in OECD Countries
This article presents a series of measures of the extent to which social policies in twenty-one OECD countries are oriented towards the support of elderly (over 65 or in formal retirement) and non-elderly (under 65 and not retired) population groups. Employing breakdowns by age in spending on social insurance, education and health, tax expenditures on welfare substituting goods, and housing policy outcomes, this article shows that countries tend …
